Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding support devices, in particular to a welding support device for thin-walled tank bodies. Background Art

[0002] A storage tank is a steel sealed container used for storing liquids or gases, and is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, grain and oil, food, fire protection, transportation, metallurgy, and national defense. When manufacturing the storage tank body, it is necessary to weld the tank body and the end cover into one body, and various components such as brackets and inlet and outlet pipes are also welded outside the tank body.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1-3 , a welding support device for a thin-walled tank, which is applied to the welding process of a thin-walled tank. In order to support the thin-walled tank, ensure its roundness, and facilitate circumferential welding;

[0030] The thin-walled tank welding support device includes a bottom plate 1. Two moving frames 2 are slidably arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 along the same straight line. A sliding rod 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. A sliding hole is formed in one side of each of the two moving frames 2. The sliding rod 3 is slidably connected to the moving frame 2 at the sliding hole so that the two moving frames 2 slide horizontally along the sliding rod 3. A threaded column 4 is arranged on the bottom plate 1. The thread rotation directions at both ends of the threaded column 4 are opposite. Threaded holes are formed in one side of the two moving frames 2. The two moving frames 2 are respectively threadedly connected to the two ends of the threaded column 4 at the two threaded holes. A driving motor is arranged on the bottom plate 1. The driving motor is connected to the threaded column 4 to drive the threaded column 4 to rotate, thereby driving the two moving frames 2 to slide horizontally and adjusting the distance between the two moving frames 2, facilitating the two ends of the tank body 8 to respectively penetrate into the two rotating rings 9, so as to support and fix the two ends of the tank body 8 through the two moving frames 2.

[0031] Openings are formed in the middle of the two moving frames 2. Rotating rings 9 are rotatably arranged inside the openings. The center positions of the two rotating rings 9 are located on the same horizontal straight line, facilitating the two ends of the tank body 8 to respectively penetrate into the two rotating rings 9, so as to horizontally support the tank body 8. A plurality of support mechanisms are arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall of each rotating ring 9. The support mechanism includes a threaded cylinder 1101, a threaded rod 1102, a fixed rod 12 and two support wheels 13.

[0032] One end of the threaded rod 1102 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 9, and the other end is threadedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder 1101. The other end of the threaded cylinder 1101 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 12. The two support wheels 13 are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixed rod 12. The two support wheels 13 are hub motors. A toothed ring 15 is rotatably arranged inside the rotating ring 9. A gear 14 is arranged at one end of each threaded rod 1102. Each gear 14 meshes with the toothed ring 15. A first servo drive motor (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 9. A first transmission gear is arranged on the output shaft of the first servo drive motor. The first transmission gear meshes with the toothed ring 15. A telescopic rod 10 is arranged between the fixed rod 12 and the rotating ring 9. The telescopic rod 10 includes a moving rod and a moving cylinder. One end of the moving rod is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 12, and the other end slides inside the moving cylinder. One end of the moving cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 9. The telescopic rod 10 enables the fixed rod 12 to move linearly, playing a guiding role. The first servo drive motor drives the toothed ring 15 to rotate inside the rotating ring 9 through the first transmission gear. The rotating toothed ring 15 drives each gear 14 to rotate, driving each threaded rod 1102 to rotate, so as to drive each threaded cylinder 1101 to move along its axis direction, making each support wheel 13 approach or move away from the center of the rotating ring 9, thereby clamping the tank body 8 in the middle of the rotating ring 9 in multiple directions and ensuring its roundness.

[0033] On one side of the moving frame 2, there is a second servo drive motor (not shown in the figure). The inner wall of the rotating ring 9 is provided with a toothed groove. The output shaft of the second servo drive motor is provided with a second transmission gear, and the second transmission gear meshes with the toothed groove. The second servo drive motor drives the rotating ring 9 to rotate inside the opening of the moving frame 2 through the meshing of the second transmission gear and the toothed groove, so that multiple support mechanisms rotate with the rotating ring 9, thereby rotating the tank body 8 clamped between the support mechanisms, facilitating the circumferential welding of the tank body 8.

[0034] In the middle of the top end of the bottom plate 1, there is a fixed seat 5. The fixed seat 5 is located between the two moving frames 2. Above the fixed seat 5, there is a hydraulic rod 6. The hydraulic rod 6 is driven by a hydraulic system, which belongs to the prior art, and the working mode of the hydraulic rod 6 will not be described in detail here. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 6 is fixedly connected with a bearing plate 7. The top of the bearing plate 7 is provided with an arc-shaped opening, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped opening is provided with a rubber pad. The tank body 8 is located inside the arc-shaped opening. The bearing plate 7 is lifted by the hydraulic rod 6, thereby changing the height position of the tank body 8 on the bearing plate 7, facilitating the rotating ring 9 to pass through both ends of the tank body 8 after the two moving frames 2 move.

[0035] The working principle of this thin-walled tank welding support device: First, the tank body 8 is placed at the arc-shaped opening of the bearing plate 7 through a lifting device. Subsequently, the hydraulic rod 6 is driven to move through the hydraulic system, thereby pushing the bearing plate 7 to lift, changing the height position of the tank body 8 on the bearing plate 7, so that the center line of the tank body 8 and the center line of the rotating ring 9 are on the same horizontal plane. Subsequently, the driving motor drives the threaded column 4 to rotate, thereby driving the two moving frames 2 to approach each other along the sliding rod 3, adjusting the distance between the two moving frames 2, so that both ends of the tank body 8 respectively penetrate into the two rotating rings 9. Subsequently, the first servo drive motor drives the toothed ring 15 to rotate inside the rotating ring 9 through the first transmission gear. The rotating toothed ring 15 drives each gear 14 to rotate, driving each threaded rod 1102 to rotate. Under the guiding action of the telescopic rod 10, each threaded cylinder 1101 is driven to move along its axis, so that the fixed rod 12 drives each support wheel 13 to approach the center position of the rotating ring 9, thereby clamping the tank body 8 in the middle of the rotating ring 9 in multiple directions. The thin-walled tank body 8 is subjected to clamping forces in multiple directions, thereby ensuring its roundness and facilitating welding;

[0036] During the welding of the tank body 8, the second servo drive motor drives the rotating ring 9 to rotate inside the opening of the moving frame 2 through the meshing of the second transmission gear and the toothed groove, so that the tank body 8 clamped by the support wheels 13 rotates with the rotating ring 9, facilitating the circumferential welding of the tank body 8. At the same time, the tank body 8 can also be driven to move horizontally by the support wheels 13 of the hub motor, thereby changing the position of the tank body 8, facilitating the welding of parts at various positions on the tank body 8.

[0037] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, making equivalent substitutions or changes, shall be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
